Mr. LINDSAY'S remarks on the American war are always worth attending to. The honourable member has proved himself a true prophet in all he has said on the subject, and though it may suit some captious listeners to decry all statements that do not immediately meet their views, the test of time has shown how valid were the opinions ex , pressed by Mr. LINDSAY, and corroborated by all who took a comprehensive view of the great Ame rican question. Mr. LINDSAY predicted that the Union would never be restored, and in this ha was borne cut by the most astute of American politi cians, and the sequel will most assuredly verify the prediction. The honourable member, in his clear and comprehensive address, showed to his hearers the fallacy of the notions entertained by the North from the outset of the affeir. He believed that the " rebellion," as they emphatically termed it, would be soon put down, and with this conviction went to war, and with what results all know. This is certainly an instance of the mistakes which men make who ere blinded by their own perversity, and so self-opinionated that they will not see the reason of unpalatable truths. Doubtless the Northern part of the combatants really felt convinced that they would soon put down and crush out the revolt, j and that in less than a year they would have suc cessfully disposed of all inimical proceedings. They had not the foresight to take note of the height and depth of the resolve which animated and ac tuated their opponents, the deeply rocted con viction—which was firmly filed is their minds—that the time had come for them to be free from the gallieg bondage they had so long borne. A want of extensive know ledge of this sort is fatal to those who wo u ld grapple with difficult and dangerous tasks, and the Washington Government have made a lamentable failure in their attempt to rush at conclusions, and believe that they lelve power to pat down all oppo laeat3l without listening to the dictates of right or the voice of reason. Mr. LINDSAY forcibly showed that the North are not really in earnest in their condemnation of Slavery. Had they really and truly desired its extinction as an Institution from their soil, thBy would have taken matters up very d fferwitly, and adopted very contrary measures to those which they have employed. He explained th a t if the North wi s h ed to put a period to the of Slavery theypractise would have ended the Fugitive Slave Law, and then the " oppressed slave would have found hie W ay across the frontier to the land of freedom." Such a te s t as this is the only way to judge r ightly of the p ur i ty of men's their motives, and to discover the real nature of assertions, This cry of Slavery has been a grand catch for the su pp or ters of the North, but i ts efficacy is now pretty well departed, and it w il l soon be of no use to att em pt trying i:s powers to th e most unenlightened and inexperienced assembly. Experience has taught, with its unerring wisdom, that no remote idea of such a thing ever actuated the Federals in the prosecution of the war. The nuti on suited some people, end it was as well to MI a advantage of the chance that presented itself so fortuitously, thus gaini ez, the support and co untenance of those wh.o would have blushed to be associated with the belligerents, had they known the manner in which the warfare yes to be prosecuted. 3 . ,t is a melancholy thing to contemplate the loss of life and the great waste of property which have Leen sacrificed to the prosecu tion of this struggle. All war is costly, and often after the shortest and most economical conflict the ereatending parties have had ample cause to repent at leisure of the exteemities into which they plunged is b as t e , but the details of this transatlantic feud are fearful to picture and overwhelming to con tempi .te. When we hear of the position of the North, the men called forth, the sums raised to meet the expenses, it is strange to consider that so far from having at all accomplished their object they are as far off as ever, and further indeed, since they must feel the conviction of their failure steal ing upon them. Mr. LINCOLN has called out troops in almost fabulous numbers, but to no purpose— and, as Mr. LINDSAY put it, "the capital of the North seems in greater jeopardy than that of the South." The consequences of this war are deplor able to dwell upon ; they affect the people of Eu rope, while they cruelly injure those of America. The West is now coming to the rescue in America, and condemning the mode of proceeding which has occasioned so many evils, and gained no avail able benefit after ail this sacrifice. Mr. LINDSAY animadverted upon the course pursued by our Go vernment throughout this disastrous war; he said very truly, without taking part they might have used their friendly offices in averting the continue ance of the conflict. France was willing to act in uni son with England in the work of mediation, but her suggestions were unheeded, and we have to regret the consequences. The hon. member for Sunder land, in conclusion, made some impressive deelara tions regarding his reasons for taking a part in the discussions on this subject. He assured his hearers that ho was actuated by goodwill on both sides, and he could not but " sympathise with people who have sprungfrom the same land with ourselves, who speak the same language, whose history is oar history, and who worship the same GoD." This speech is an admirable one, for it is free from bitter. ness and prejudice, yet it declares the truth in plain and unvarnished terms, and all who would I obtain an insight into American affairs cannot do better than peruse it attentively, for it clearly ex. plains the merits and demerits of the complicated question. The return of the excursion season usually brings with it a plentiful supply of the sensation element. We are continually startled with accounts of dread ful accidents or impressed by narratives cf hair breadth escapes and dangerous delays. Sometimes a year elapses without any catastrophe of maple tude; at other times disasters follow each other in rapid succession, as in the instances of the Clayton Tunnel accident and that which immediately suc ceeded it on the North London Railway. It is happily very seldom that the ace:dents are of such a terrible character, and the effect of the double catastrophe on the public mind was very great. People lost all confidence in railways, and it was well for the companies that the excursion season was near its close, for, owing to the panic, it was virtually ended by those disasters, The next summer the effects were still felt, and excursionists were few and far between. Happily there has been of late years no similar catass trophe, and the pleasant and healthful cue. tom of snatching a few hours by the seaside or in the woods in the midst of hard work or pressing business is again in full force. This year we are having a complete circle of disasters; the railway lines taking in turn the unenviable dis tinction. We had the Egham accident, which threw such a gloom over the gay doings at Ascot; we tad the appalling murder of Mr. BRIGGS on another line, to be followed by an accident, com paratively trifling in its results, but most alarming in its character, at Margate; and now within the last two days London itself has been startled by an engine turned acrobat. It is worth notice that none of these disasters occurred, properly speak ing, to excursion trains, unless the extra trains in a race week can be reckoned as such. Mr. BRIGGS was assassinated on a short journey of the moat ordinary kind, and it must be remembered that no especial blame could attach to either company or driver. The unfortunate system of isolation to which so many individual accidents and annoyances are due, does not belong exclusively to any particular line. Indeed it has been in existence for a good many years without the public seeming sensible of its danger. The same remark applies to that dangerous midnight journey northwards which we have omitted from our list of railway alarms. The unfortunate train at Margate was one of only a few carriages going on its usual trick, while the accident at Camden-road Station (again on the unlucky North London), had nothing to do with excursions or excursionists. So that the public need rot be startled into abandoning their proposed pleasure trips when danger lies in the ordinary prosecution of daily business as well. It is unde niable that excursion trains have met with a greater proportion of accidents than other trains, but such is not necessarily the case, and there is every pro bability that each successivo accident diminishes instead of increasing the chances of misfortune. Wise men would tell us that, according to the doc trine of chances, accidents are less likely to happen in close succession, but it is more satisfactory to trust to an increase of care and vigilance on the part of the officials of the line than to any theoreti• cal calculation. We may reasonably suppose that every accident teaches some particular lesson, espe cially where it is, as too often happens, the result of recklessness and negligence, We cannot sup. pose, for instance, that another stationmaster will dismiss two trains, in rapid succession, telling the first to stop at a certain station, and the second to go on. We can hardly imagine that directions will again be given to suspend the danger signal, or that men will be kept at work for eighteen or twenty hours in succession, as was the case in one of the most frightful accidents of our time. All these lessons are learnt at heavy cost by the Companies, who pay dearly in hard coin, as well as suffering in public estimation, not always deservedly. The actual expense of remedying the accident is the least part, though that of course is sometimes at tended with serious expense. But the public have a riglit to expect that every possible provision will be made for their safety, and if the companies propose to combine profit for themselves with pleasure and convenience to the public, they are bound to take extra precautions instead of diminishing their usual care. They are left the un controlled management of their own affairs; they are free to fix what prices they charge, what salaries they give; they arrange their own hours of departure, arrival, and the like, and therefore the responsibility rests exclusively with them. It is becoming doubly necessary that all due care should be taken now that railways are intersecting our streets, burrowing underneath our highways, so that the meet resolute pedestrian cannot escape their dangers. An accident occurring in the midst of our densely populated metropolis would probably THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 18, 1864. produce most disastrous consequences, when in green country lanes it might do little or no injury. The explosion of the engine at Camden-road on Tuesday last might have been attended with very serious consequences, not only to the travellers by the train itself, who had a most fortunate escape, bat to the foot passengers in Randolph-street. The train was preparing to leave the station, and imp mediately it does so it has to cross a bridge over a little street. The firebox exploded, the engine was blown upwards and forwards so high into the air that the telegraph lines, some 10 or 15 feet above, were broken, and then turning completely round in its descent, the engine carrying with it a lerge quantity of the stone coping of the bridge, went down into Randolph-street. Had such an accident happened on some of the bridges crossing over different parts of London instead of over a little quiet by-street, what would have bean the conse quences P The very thing that has caused so many accidents—the weakness of the coupling chains— proved in this instance the safety of the passengers, for had not the chain snapped when the engine bounded forward they must have been also preci pitated into the street below. Let us hope that this will be the last of this summer's disasters, and that henceforth increased care may ensure increased safety. The Fortress of Tarifa, The Foreign Office has recr:ived the subjoined official communication from the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs to her Majesty's Minister at Madrid with respect to vessels passing the fortress of Tarifa:— " St. Ildefonso, July 31, " Sir,—Having informed the Minister of War of the exertions made upon different occasions by certain foreign Ministers accredited to this Court, with the object of introducing some favourable modification of the regulations observed by the for tresses of Tarifa and Isla Verde to oblige the vessels sailing in the jurisdictional waters of those fortresses to hoist the flag of their nation—a practice which they often neglect, alleging an ignorance scarcely credible in vessels who so often cross the Straits— the above-mentioned Minister replied on the 21st ult. that on that day the following instructions had been sent to ele Captain General of Andalusia, under whose immediate orders the fortresses of Tarifa and Isla Verde are placed, which for the future are to guide the commanders of the said fortresses : " 1. Every vessel crossing the line of the said forts within reacb of their guns, and not showing the flag of their nation when the flag of the fort is fly ing, shall be warned of the neglect it is guilty of by means of cannon loaded with powder only. " 2. If after ten minutes she does not hoist her flag, a shot with ball shall be fired across her bows. " 3. It in spite of the two warnings, and after ten minutes more, she still refuses to hoist her flag, a third shot with ball shall be fired at her rigging. —I avail, &e., , 6 J. F. PACIII.00." The Metropolis Roads. A copy of the following letter, addressed by Sir George Grey to the EArl of Lansdale, has been ordered to be sent to each Commissioner of ths Metropolis roads Whitehall, July 19. My Lord,—l have much satisfaction in expressing to your lordship the great value which her Majesty's Govern ment attach to the service which has been rendered to the public by the Commissioners of the Metropolis Turnpike Roads north of the Thames, over whom your lordship has so long and so usefully presided. From their 38th report, recently laid before Parliament, it appears that since the appointment of the commission in 1827 the heavy debt, amounting to upwards of 120,000, which was secured upon the tolls, has been entirely liquidated, and that, besides pro viding for the ordinary repairs of the roads, the commis sioners have further expended upwards of £60,000 in diffe• rent improvements, and have been enabled from time to time to remove the turnpike gates to a greater distance from the metropolis, thus preparing the way for carrying into effect the provisions of the act of last session, in pursuance of which, from the Ist of the present month, all the reads under the charge of the commissioners,within the limits of the Metropolis Local Management Act have been trans ferred to the parishes in gocal repair, the tolls extinguished, and the gates removed. I request your lordship to accept, and to convey to the commissioners, the assurance of the high sense which her Majesty's Government entertain of their successful manage ment of the business to which they have gratuitously de voted so much time and attention, The great benefit which has resulted from the service thus rendered by your lord ship and your colleagues in the commission cannot fail to be duly appreciated by the public.—l have, &c., The Earl of Lonadale, K,G., &c. 0, GREY, LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] FRANCE. LIMOGES, AUG. 18. The number of houses destroyed here in the grew fire is estimated at 200. The cause of the conflagration is unknown. The King of Spain arrived at St. Cloud last night abaut nine. After the banquet at St. Sebastian, the King continued his journey to France, and arrived at Bordeaux at nine on Monday night. Ile was received at the railway station by Count de Boa ville, Prefect of the Gironde, the general command ing the military division, the mayor, the municipal council, and all the authorities of the city and de partment. His Majesty was accompanied by M. de Isturitz, the Spanish ambassador ; Gen. de Wanbert de Geniis, aide-de-camp to the Emperor ; Baron Tascher de la Pagerie, Mare , ehal do Logis of the Palace; and Viscount de Lafemere, Imperial Chamberlain, who had gone to receive the King at the frontier. Hil Majesty proceeded at once to the prefecture, where apartments had been pre pared for and afterwards held a reception in the Grand Salon, and the evening terminates by a gland supper of 50 covers. The King left Bordeaux yesterday morning for Paris at half-past eight, and was accompanied to the station with the same cere monial as on his arrival. On reaching the entrance to the Park of St. Cloud, the King was received by the Emperor in person; whilst at the foot of the grand staircase of the palace the Royal visitor found the Empress and the Prince Imperial, attended by the Prince and Princess Lucien Murat, Prince and Princess Joachim Murat, and Princess Anne Murat. The grand officers of the Crown, the Marshal Commanding-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, the Adjutant-General of the Palace, the Grand Mistress of the Empress, the Gouvernante of the children of France, the Lady of Honour of the Empress, and the officers and ladies of their Majesty's Household were also there, and had the honour of being presented to his Catholic Majesty. The King, Mare retiring to his apart. ments, presented the officers of his suite to their Imperial Majesties. The Princess Mathilde, being indisposed, was unable to be at the Palace of Saint Cloud at the time of the King's arrival. The Emperor has received replies from the Queen of England and Prince of Wales to the letters noti. Eying the birth of Prince Napoleon-Louis-Joseph- Jerome.

The Canadian screw steamer Belgian, Captain Acton, from Quebec on the 6;.h inst., arrived here this afternoon, via Londonderry yesterday. Nothing has transpired before Petersburg subse quent to the late assault. The New J ork, .7inies' Army of the Potomac cor respondent says—" In the interview under the flag of truce the reEel officers admit their loss to be 3,000, and claimed to have taken 936 prisoners. The explosion made a cavity of 200 feet long and 95 feet wide." Another despatch says—" The rebels buried their dead on the other side of their line, and carried off their wounded. They claim to have 1,200 prisoners, including the wounded, in their possession. They state their loss was 800, but this is not credited," The Federal General, Bartlett, and Colonel Mar shall, were in Petersburg, unhurt. A court of inquiry was about to be convened to inquire into the Federal disaster at Petersburg. A New York despatch of the sth says :—" There are good reasons for believing that the Confederates are mining one of our earthworks in front of Peters burg, Mea E ures have been taken which will render operations of that sort futile. A riot occurred in this city to-day between a party of soldiers and negroes, in which two of the soldiers were killed and several wounded. The dwellings of the negroes were burned by the soldier s , w h o were willingly assisted by secession sympathisers." The New York Worlds Washington correspon dent on the 4th 8331 5 A rebel officer, who de serted General Early's army, reports the cavalry forces operating in the valley up the river, numbers 8 , 0 00, under Generals Johnson and M'Causland. Early says he is determined to hold the valley at all hazards and has a force from 35,000 to 40,000, who are engaged thrashing wheat. He takes every bushel, b es id es a tax for l a b our per f orme d." Another Washington tel egram sa y s :—" General Early' s head-quarters are at Winchester, and a detachment of rebel cavalry is still on the line of the Beesa Railroad. The war department has assigned General Emery to command the 19th corps. General H oo k er h as b een ordered to re p o rt at Washington without delay." earnest appeal will be made to the President by The Washington correspondent o f the New York Commerci a l Ad ver ti ser says I t , is understood an leading republicans to gi ve General APClellan a command. It is urged that enlistments to the num ber of 100,000 will be secured in New York. The impression gains ground that General Hooker will have a most important command. It is becoming ap parent to the war department that the rebels are re. solved on a vigorous campaign on the Upper Potomac, and are rei n f orc i ng Gen. Early strong ly. E ar l y has crossed 'the river with 35,00 0 men, and one portion of hi s cavalry from Hagerstown recroesed the river. H e now holds M a rtinsburg and th e surrounding c ountry.

Return ing by way of Meemen, we captured a large waggon train filled with much valuable private property be longing to rebel officers, and among other property was Gen. Hood's papers, all of which fell into the hands ofth egeneral and hie forces . Ab out this time the rebels, under Lien. Ransom, attacked Gen. M'C oo k, and a fight ensued, in which M'Cook's command was routed, and the greatest part captured. About 500 of the troops have reported at Marietta, and give fearful stories of loss, &a. The command, when starting, numbered about 3,200. General M'Cook is reported killed." The New York Herald's correspondent at Atlanta says—" A. few days since Gen. Stanley took quite a haul of prisoners by a ruse. A deep ravine ran from his lines to the left of the rebel skirmishers; along this he sent up a company of men, who got to the rear of a squad of rebels, and took them without losing a man. The Sixth Ohio Battery are in position in Gen. Hood's front, and are pouring one continuous stream of shot and shell upon the rebel lines and the city, The rebels reply vigor ously, trying to silence them. Our lines ere now pretty well swung round Atlanta. The rebels have very formidable works in our hoot, which they can well defend with a small force for a considerable time. Their late defeats and heavy losses must have considerably reduced their army, besides hav ing a most demoralising effect upon them. In both tights they attacked us when not in position, and therefore at decided disadvantage, and in both fights they were repulsed with fearfal slaughter. Should they persist in making their death stand here, Sherman will resort to his flanking move ments and cut off their only line of communication and retreat, and thus completely destroying the rebel army in Tennessee." There were reports that General Forrest was at Atlanta under Hood ; while another rumour is that he died at Columbus, Mississippi, on the 22d of July, of lockjaw. Advices from New Orleans state that all the troops in New Orleans were suddenly sent up the riv•-_r on the 26th July. It was reported that the Confederates were ad vancing on Morg Insia, although it is not known these troops had gone to that place. By way o► Havana we have advises from Vera Cruz to the 22d July. Skirmishes have taken place near Mexico city. Juarcz's forces had left Setillo for Monterey, whera Megreti had joined Juarez. Maximilian has decreed the French code of laws. Brownsville and Texas advices state that the Fe• derals had abandoned the whole frontier of Rio Grande. Cortinas is raising a large force by pay ing one dollar in gold per day to rebel deserters. rne French threaten to blockade Matamoras. Modern Naval Wounds, M. Dufour, a surgeon of the French navy, has published an interesting account of the wounded seamen who were brought to the naval hospital at Cherbourg after the engage ment between the Alabama and the Kearsarge. Of 15 men, 1 is dead, 2 remain is a dangerous state, the others, favoured by a strong constitution and the great care with w hich they were attended in the hospital, are recovering. Far some days victors and vanquished lying near each other in the same room forgot the civil discord of which they were the victims. They were visited with the same solicitude and the same humanity by the officers of the ship which sur• vived the engagement. One of the first remarks suggested by reading M. Dufour's statement is that the greater num ber of the wounds were caused net by cannon shot or shell, but by splinters from the ship. It has been observed by naval surgeons that since the use of shells in naval engage ments the destruction of human life has been greater than when round shot alone was used. It has been learnt from the same sea engagement that it is an error to suppose that the plating of wooden ships protects the crew from the splinters scattered about. The still increas ing calibre of the guns used in modern warfare requires a greater number of men to serve theta, and it follows that one shot may cause more destruction by striking a compact group of men. This was the case on board the Alabama. A shell fired from the Kearsage falling among 19 men who were serving one of the Alabama's guns killed or wounded 15. The Alabama fired altogether 270 shots, of which the greater number were fired from howitzers, There were but 163 shots fired by the Kearsage. Nobody appears to have teen killed by the round shot—all the injury was inflicted directly or indirectly by the shells. The captain of the Kearsage very soon ceased firing from his four 32-pounders, which produced little effect, and used his two 11-inched howitzers and a rifled 20-pounder placed forward. The victory was gained by these three pieces alone. THE LATE MR. C. W. DILKE,—Tho remains of the late Mr. C. W. Dilke were consigned yesterday to the family vault at Kemal-green Cemetery. The funeral was strictly private, attended only by members of the family and two or three old intimate friends, among whom we may mention Messrs. John Forster, Hepworth Dixon, and W. J. Thems. The last number of Notes and Queries con tains the following well deserved tribute to th e memor y of the deceased :—" In the death of Charles Wentworth Dilke, Esq., Notes and Queries has sustained a groat loss ; for among the many able writers who have from time to time contributed to its pages, no one has enriched them with so many valuable papers illustrative of English history and literature as ho whose death it is now our painful duty to record. Mr Dilke was one of the truest hearted men, and kindest friends it has ever been our good fortune to know, He died on Wednesday last, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. The distinguishing feature of his character was his singular love of truth, and his sense of its value and importance, even in the minutest points and questions of literary' history. In all his writings the enforcement of this great principle, as the only foundation of literary hon our and respectability, was his undeviating aim and object. What the independence of English literary journalism owes to his spirited exertions, clear judgment, and unflinching honesty of purpose, will, wo trust, be told hereafter by an abler pen than that which now announces his deeply la mented death." 110YALIGALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The annual exodus from the metropolis does not daunt the enterprising manager of the Gallery of Illustration, for he advertises the closing of his present excellent entertainment, and the commencement of a new one at the same time. The season will terminate on the 27th instant, when the "Pyramid," the "Bard and his Birthday," and the new story of the " Seaside " will be withdrawn, to be followed on the following Monday by a new opera di camera, er ballad operetta, by MrW. Balfe, which will re-introduce the " Jesh'y Lea" company, with the exception of a new soprano, a Miss Finlayeon, of whom we have heard some favourable reports. POST- OFFICE BLUNDER.—About half a league from the town gates of Konigsberg:, in Prussia, is a place called Jerosalem. A resident gentleman there has just received a h. tter which the commissary of his district had addressed to him two years ago. It appears that tho let ter had been .sent to the Holy Land, and had afterwards made nearly tha tour of the world. TICE BELFAST MOTS. (From the Second Edition of the Northern Whig,) BLILFAST, Wednesday, 12.30 PM. The present disastrous riots continue, and more people have been injured and maimed with blud geons, and fired at, and perhaps killed with gunshot wounds. The riots were renewed this morning in the dis turbed districts, unabated in their terrible nature, and with similar terrible consequences. Five more men have been taken to the General Hospital weltering in their blood. Two of them are not likely to survive —indeed, it is said, cannot survive the injuries they have received. About four o'clock this morning the rioters made ready for another day's campaign. Similar out rageous Beetles to those we have daily described oc curred, but with even more terrible determination and deadliness of purpose. The mobs met in several instances and belaboured each other with the fury of savages. Dover-street, which runs between the Shankill road and the Falls-road, was the scene of a dreadful riot, the contending mobs using, not sticks and stones, but guns loaded with bullets. For half an hour the fire was kept up between the mobs, who did not show a spark of cowardice on either side. Volley after volley roared along the street; the rapid discharge and whirr of the bullets'as they rushed past, the shouting of the mobs, and the cool determination with which they stood at their posts, made up a scene absolutely thrilling in a civilised town. Several people were injured with bullets. Those belonging to the Pound side had to be taken to the General Hospital, two of them having their legs amputated at the present time, and many received wounds from balls and slugs, and were carried home. The Protestant party, so far as we learn, were uninjured, except in one instance. Another fearful rencontre took place on the Falls-road, and it is said that the Catholic party fired from the windows of Hughes's bakery, and wounded several, who, it is alleged, were about to wreck the establishment. That part of the town is in a state of the greatest excitement, and no busi ness is being done. A large mob of men and women from the Sandy row district, assembled at an early hour this morn ing opposite the Ulster Railway, with the object of pouncing upon any unfortunate navvy who thought it his own interest to leave the town. As soon as any person suspected of being connected with the Catholic mobs made his appearance, a yell was set up and he was belaboured unmercifully by the croa d in waiting. Some parties were chased for their lives and succeeded with getting off' with only a few bruises. A lot of fellows waited at the station the arrival of the nine o'clock train, when some individuals apparently about to proceed to the harvest in Eng land and Scotland, were set upon and beaten with sticks and stones. One man, who had been severely injured by the mob, was sent to the General Hos pital by Chief Constable Maittrick. We have been informed by two gentlemen who were witnesses to the outrage committed at the rail way station that not a solitary policeman was to be seen while they were going on. "We understand that the reason of these brutal attacks upon labourers coming by the trains is, that a rumour has gone abroad that the Roman Catho lics expect assistance from Dublin and Tipperary. Shortly after the assault upon the persons at the station a party of police patrolled in the neighbour hood. Last tight, in the course of a riot at Wilson. street, both military and police were ordered to fire upon the mobs. Several persons were severely in jured in consequence. The magistrates seem determined to exercise very stringent measures for the future, and to-day bodies of constabulary are continually patrolling the streets and preventing as much as possible the assembling of crowds. There are now 37 cases in the hospital. Two men are on the point of death. So far as we can learn there are upwards of 100 cases of injuries from gunshot wounds attended to by private medical men. Daring the day a large reinforcement of consta bulary is expected from the Ph conix Park, Dublin. The whole constabulary force now in town is under the command of Msjor Esmonde, Deputy Inspector General, who arrived last night from Dublin. About 260 of the 78th Highlanders arrived in town last night. DUBLIN, Wednesday. The navvies and the Orange ship carpenters did ❑ot come into collision yesterday. The former were not to be seen, but the latter, hearing that the Dublin coal porters were to arrive in Belfast to help their co-religionists, awaited the evening train in great force, about 1,000 strong, and all armed, determined to attack them. The report happily turned out false. The magistrates swore is a number of special Constables yesterday, and took possession of all the gunpowder in the shops. About 60 persons were shot, and the mobs had to be separated at the bayonet point. The respec table inhabitants want the town placed under martial law. Dr. Dorrian has called on the Ro man Catholics to avoid rioting, All business is suspended. DUBLIN, Wednesday Afternoon. The rioting continues furious. The military and the constabulary fired last night upon the people. Many were wounded dangerously. Thirty-seven are is the hospital. Above a hundred are under private medical treatment. Harvest men Coming by the trains were sadly maltreated, under the idea that they came to assist the Catholics. Both parties fought, wiihimt the slightest cowardice, with slug and bullet charged guns. Several limbs were amputated. The authorities are at length acting vigorously. The constabulary are under the command of Mejor Esmond. DuBLIN, Thursday, One o'clock. Belfast quieting. At six o'clock last evening a serious collision took place between ship carpenters And navvies. The latter ware forced into mud-banks in the harbour, and were fired upon from the banks of the river by the Orange party. Nine or ten re ceived gun-shot wounds, and one is reported dead. Their appearance, up to the neck in mud, was truly heartrending. THE FRENCH DITTO TO " How's YOUR POOR FEET P"—One feature of the fete was the starting of a new and unmeaning cry—"As-tuvu Lambert?'--which seemed to create great amusement, and in which some people de tect a political signification. It is something of the same kind as the inquiry about "poor feet," which used to be so popular in London. LITERATURE. O'Dowd's Good Humoured Philosophy. Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women, and other things an general. One vol. pp, 299. Blackwood and Sons, Another glorious serial from Blackwood's Maga zine is here before us, collected together and pub lished separately. It is the cheeriest set of chapters— about (slightly altering its own cub title) all things in general and nothing in particular—that any blase student of light literature, as it is for the most part nowadays, could reasonably desire. In the mere style of it, there is freshness if not absolute origina lity. The writer of these pages has sat down to their composition in ap , : iarently tip-top spirits. If he does really happen, in spite of all appearances hero to the contrary notwithstanding—to be, even to a moderate extent, a victim to the re e3)„.rims, otherwise to the blue devils born of dyspepsia, he has the ',happiest knack somshow :of hiding his efirction from the reader's ken altogether, and en titles himself indubitably, in that case, to the delight ful repute of being the most thoroughly amiable and sweet-tempered of valetudinarians. Judging here merely from the manner of the man, however, we should be disposed to picture him to ours selves as a compound of all sorts of delect able contradictions or incongruities. In this wise —to begin with—Cornelius O'Dowd is manifestly an unmistakeable Man-of-the.world, one who has seen a good deal of the ins and outs of life, who has seen them, moreover, with his eyes wide open, who has, in his time, had quite enough and to spare of town life, who has very closely and critically examined for himself (to adopt a happy phrase from an essayist in the Cornhill Magazine) " the wrong side of the stuff," all the tags and rags and bobtails of that motley embroi dery, the Social System ! And who, nevertheless, has emerged from it all, from this town life, from these wanderings behind the scenes, from these strayings even into the holes and corners, as one may say, of modern civilisation--a creature, to the last, entirely genial in his spirits, in his nature, in his whole temperament, and not the least bit in the world of a curmudgeon ! In other words, Cornelius O'Dowd may be set down at once—as a man of the world— unspoilt by his worldly wisdom ! In his idiocyn creel- ho was evidently, upon setting out in life, a right good fellow. And—he is so still. He was so in the green leaf. Ho is so—if Mrs. O'Dowd will but forgive us for hinting as much—now that the once glistening, dustless green leaf gives indica tions of crisping into the " sure and yellow." And, seeing all this in Cornelius O'Dowd, we have a kind• ness for him. The glint of the gray heirs sown, here and there, about his head and in his whiskers, in stead of deteriorating the gloss of those hirsute honours of Cornelius O'Dawd's—on the contrary, seems, in a manner, to enhance it, as it were, by a last finishing touch of grace as with a crowning sheen or halo ! The crowsfeet at the outer-corners of his blithe eyes, come to him less, one might say, from years than from frequent laughter or nonsti• tutional merriment. His paramount characteristic is his bonhommie. His bearing towards the world at large, is very much indeed of the " Hail fellow well met !" Nay—more than that—he himeelf,ene might say, is a hale fellow, and one, here, in these pages, decidedly well met! Read ing him, it is as if, in answer to his summons, we had got our slippered feet at ease under his maho gany in a pleasant tae d tae, sipping bumpers of his old crusted, cracking the ripest filberts culled from his own nut-walk, dipping the milky kernels of them in the attic salt of his wit, and—it is surely needless to say, after this thoroughly enjoying ourselves the while—when listening to his hilarious prattle ! A prattle, too, it is—about the chiefest charm of which is its dis cursiveness! Echoing our own preliminary phrase for it, it is so much (to be plain, in about one-and-thirty distinct chapters, or divisions) of " Good Humoured Philosophy" Cornelius O'Dowd's, to wit—" Upon Men and Women and Other Things in General!' Cornelins's Mordan, or Perry, twittering as lightly as any feather —say as one of the grey goosequills of the author's earlier youth —upon themes as che quered as—(like Ella's Mrs. Batt' e—with a diffe rence I) on " The Decline of Whist"—as (like Mr. Babbage or Mr Bass—also, with a difference I) on " The Organ Nuisance"—on " Clubs" and " Line guists"—on " A New Hansard" and " A New In vestment"—on " The Decline of the Drama" and the swarming of " Garibaldi's Worshippers." Various as may be the opinions of Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women and Other Things in General, it is certain, all the while, that he entertains no mean opinion of one individual in particular, namely, the important subject of his first paper yclept " My self 1" Here, in proof of this, are his qualifications in fall— " You may deem me boastful if I have to set forth my qualifications; but what can Ido ? It is only when I have opened my pack and displayed my wares that you may feel tempted to buy. lam driven, then, to tell you that I know everybody that is worth knowing in Europe, and some two or three in America; that I have been everywhere—eaten of everything —seen everything. There is not a railway guard from Norway to Naples doesn't grin a recognition to me ; not a waiter from the Trois Freres to the Wilde Mann doesn't trail his napkin to earth as he sees me. Ministers speak up when I stroll into the Chamber, and prima donnas soar above the crchestra, and warble in ecstasy as I enter the pit." With such a cicerone no wonder the book is filled with adventure and amusement. Ono of the early chapters "A friend of Gioberti" gives a whimsical account of the O'Dawds' honeymoon expedition to the Continent when an Italian Count, and friend of Gioberti, gives Mr. and Mrs. O'D. the benefit of some Italian lessons. The upshot being that he (Gioberti's Friend that is) gives the unconscious lady some Italian love letters to endite by way of exercises, and then disposes of them at a heavy sum to the credulous husband. An explanation ensues thereupon, of course, between the lady and gentle• man, but " the friend of Gioberti" has departed with his compensation. Altogether this book penned by Cornelius O'Dowd, of O'Dowd's Folly, in the county of Mayo, Ireland, is as exhilarating a volume as one could wish to have had issued from the press, in the very nick of time, upon the eve of one's holiday excursion—no matter whither ! Precisely the very book of books to drop into one's valise as a fill-up for stray moments when lounging in the corner of a railway carriage or when sprawling at greater ease upon the cabin sofa of a steamboat—stray moments when, without the fatigue of talking, one enjoys so completely through a book, just such an intellectual companionship as that of Monsieur, Signor, Herr, Dan Cornelius O'Dowd—this travelling Irishman,who talks wherever:he goes, we may be certain of that, Spanish, Garman, Italian, French, it matters nothing which, bat each and all of them with the one unmistakeable Mayo accent! Not a high.flavonred, broad-spreading accent like that of the dreadful Patland-widow in George Meredith's "Emilia in England," what that arch humorist himself dubs " pickled Irish"— but a very delectable, an easily detectable taste of the brogue—a taste of the brogue, let us say, caught from a just casual lick of the Blarney Stone! And, so saying, let us here cheerily—as, in truth, alone befits a reader who stands indebted to hie author for many a gay , nay often, too, f ar many a wise and wholesome laugh—let us here cheerily bid a cordial adieu to Cornelius O'D ow d, o f Dowd's Fol l y aforesaid, th e merry-eyed, frank speaking, open-handed ow ner ( a l as ! late owner) of Kilmuraynabachlioh, Ballaghy and Gregnaslat tery. PAINCESS'S THEATRE.—M r Edward Thompsor, who has been connected for many years with the box-offitya of this theatre, has announced his annual benefit for this evening. The performances will consist of "Bore to Good Luck" and the new drama called the "The Streets of London." The z - 2al and courtesy with which Mr Thomp son uniformly disch arges the duties of h i s o ff ice give him the strongest claim s upon the patronage o f t h e public, who it is to be hoped will show their sense of his merits on the present occasion. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—SeveraI new figures have been lately added to the celebrated Historical Gallery in Baker-street, among which wa would call special attention to that of Richard 11. and his Queen Isabella ; also Henry a nd his Queen Joan of Navarre, and Henry VI. and his Queen Margaret of Apjou—all being attired iu the costly costumes of their respective periods. A full-length model of Archbishop Wickham, in mggnifieent ecclesiastical robes, &0., is likewise to be seen. TZ, &Int tri fa HER MAJESTY, OSBORNE, August 17.

DEATH OF THE GOVERNOR OF CEYLON.---We have to record the death of Sir Charles Tustoll M'Carthy, Governor of Ceylon, which occurred at the 51 4 Belgium, to which place he was on a visit for the benefit o his health, on Sunday last. The deceased, who was the son of the late Mr Denis M'Carthy, of Cork, was born in 1820 ' and was married in 1848 to Sophia Brunel, eldest daug hter of Sir Benjamin Hawes, K.C.8., Under-Secretary of State for War. In 1856 he was nominated by Lord John Russell, who was at that time Colonial Secretary, to the office °f Colonial Secretary in Ceylon, and in the following Year - ceived the order of Knighthood. In 1800 he was apPo iete by the Duke of Newcastle, who was then Colonial Secrete to the post of Governor and Commander-in-Chief and ti ice of Ceylon, which he held up to the time of hi s death. The nomination to the governorship, which is °f considerable value, falls to the Right Hon. Edward Card" well, M.P., Secretary of State for the Colonies. THE BIRTH OF THE SEWING MACHINE.--°llr mechanicians should have perfected the be virlg' machine. The land that invented the steam engine and tia power-loom, ought, in the ordimuynature of things, to ha' crowned its work by the final device which was to toW 10 gether the textile fabrics its cunning mechanics had woven.

This inventor, Mr John Foster, 01 'l a tingham, was a very young man, only nineteen , wh t• first contrived his embroidery machine, and in coDie l ',l l4 with his moneyed partner, Mr Gibbons, in Decal:abort-I—i; brought it into practical use.
